Live Webinar: June 3 (Wednesday) 2 ET. “Running Endpoint Security At Scale.” Sponsor: CloudWave. Presenters: Richard Phung, director of security operations, CloudWave; Brian Lamberger, cybersecurity solutions general manager, CloudWave. Healthcare security teams don’t struggle with detection — they struggle with what comes next. When alerts pile up, and response is inconsistent, even the best tools fall short. That’s where operationalizing endpoint security becomes critical. In this executive-level webinar, we’ll break down how healthcare organizations are turning fragmented alerts into coordinated, real-time response by operationalizing MDR, EDR, and SOC capabilities. Attendees will learn how to reduce response times with structured triage and 24/7 oversight; contain threats faster across endpoints, EHR systems, and cloud environments; align endpoint security with clinical uptime and patient safety priorities; and move from reactive detection to measurable resilience.
